But, demos are not evidence of anything here on Bullshido, as I have learned. I'll return with some sparring footage after I get comfortable with my MMA buddies. I'll try to find someone there with a year or two of MMA training for the sake of comparison.

This is why I do not need to see these videos. "Comfortable" will be a few months and by then they'll have worked some of the Poo Shu out.

I am not sure this is MMA we are talking about. This could be some McDojo that does low impact slap fighting with crappling. This may also be why is experience is dominating. He has consistently avoided the hit/submit while fully resisting question.

If you want to see the video that's cool. Trying to play both sides is silly. You either believe he is is or is not training MMA.

Either way it will not be Shou Shu and that's the, broken record, point of the thread.
Video of the greatest MA sparring when every time someone points out the fallacy it is "Oh NO he sucks, isn't part of the system and we do spar."

Beginners Mind knows it, that there's no way he'd let us see him sparring right now.

Yep, you understand my point. The funny thing is I think he trained it long ago and hopes to train to a mediocre level. Then he can say "see it works and I'm just a lower rank."

IIF,
An overwhelming desire to validate his earlier training no matter what; that makes a lot of sense. Don't have to invalidate the time, effort, or relationships. The only reason i changed my perspective on his current training attempts is the odd responses regarding unfit sparring partners and his location limits his training selection, etc
